STEM Education

STEM education at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School begins in preschool and continues through the students' 8th grade year. Students learn to work with authentic tools as young as 3 years old, and then graduate onto power tools in the intermediate grades. Our primary teachers incorporate the STEM educational approaches into their everyday curriculum. This year our 8th graders have the opportunity to work up close and personal with Purdue University students and staff in the EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) program. This unique program gives these middle schoolers a taste of real life engineering opportunities in their community.
